Flashcards

Who discovered the electron?

J.J. Thomson is credited with the discovery of the electron, a fundamental subatomic particle with a negative charge.

What did E. Goldstein discover?

E. Goldstein discovered canal rays, later identified as positively charged particles, in 1886 during experiments with gas discharge tubes.

What is the mass of a proton?

The subatomic particle discovered by E. Goldstein, later known as the proton, has a mass approximately 2000 times greater than an electron.

What are positively charged rays called?

E. Goldstein named the positively charged rays he observed in gas discharge tubes 'canal rays,' due to their movement through the perforated cathode.
